RUHS has 12 operating rooms, a helipad located directly adjacent to the Trauma Center, and state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging services. The Emergency Department is currently undergoing renovation and expansion. There are adult, pediatric and neonatal intensive care units, a birthing center and complete pulmonary services, including hyperbaric oxygen treatments. All patient rooms are single occupancy.
